green policies

Have you wandered when its minus ten outside in march how scientists
say its 3 degrees aove normal.I sometimes wander if there just trying
to protect their jobs. Goverment is very quick to accept all they say
perhaps it is a way of justifying so called green taxes which I believe
is another way of screwing more money out of the poor energy user. Any
one have any thoughts on this for or against

I wander around in all weather.

Well, I assume they look up a chart that tells them that the average
temperature at this time of year during the period 1850-1870 was X;
then calculate the average temperature for this time of year over, say,
1986-2006 and call that Y, then calculate the difference Y-X.

This is because one particularly cold day, with a temperature of minus
ten is hardly a reliable indicator of long-term global weather patterns.

Not so much. Too cold for wandering.

Is this an HTML question? I can sorta see how maybe it is, given the new
line of weather related tags in HTML 4.03w Strict, but yet you don't
mention them. I'm talking about <weather></weather>, <wind> <snow> <rain>
etc.

It really is about time that <cold> and <grey> were deprecated, though.

I mean, what good do they do most of the time?
